According to police, four people have been arrested for blocking streets and refusing to move at a Baltimore protest.
About 200 people assembled at McKeldin Square Friday night to march to police headquarters. Organized by the Peoples Power Assembly, the protest was organized in wake of the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philandro Castile.
Police say some people failed to comply with officers and protest coordinators and refused to move out of roadways. Aside from the few protestors arrested, the protesters have been peaceful, according to police.
